A reliability data base for performance and predictive assessment of electric power systems

摘要

The authors present an overview of the CEA reporting procedures for assessing overall power system performance and providing generation, transmission and distribution outage statistics which can be used to predict future performance. The equipment Reliability Information System (ERIS) is presented with particular emphasis on the ability of the system to provide the necessary reliability parameters to support the conventional models used in reliability evaluation. The Electric Power System Reliability Assessment (EPSRA) procedure is briefly described. This procedure, when fully implemented, should provide an extremely important source of comparative utility performance data.
